"It's the chance to see three potential presidents in one time, to see Obama speak for the last time he's potentially in office," Skylar Radis said.
"I think it's really exciting that all these people are here, whether we see her tonight remains to be seen," Sandi Nord said.
Most banked on getting in. Others conceded if they don't make it, it was still worth it the long walk.
